Makes you wonder why they didn't send a shuttle craft for the stranded crew.

Gravitational ionization in the upper atmosphere prevented the use of crafts that rely on impulse engines.

And you just happened to remember that?

Must have missed them mentioning it.

I was making that up using my experience from years of listening to technobabble.

Well, talking about characters I like the actor ("Ruk", left one of screenshot). It is "Lurch" (Ted Cassidy, died 1979) from the Addams Family!  

[addicted2dvd]

Yeah... I like him too. I have all the Addams Family episodes to watch too.
